Course its illegal and you are funding piracy /revolution / drugs blah blah blah


ISP's really dont care unless they are pushed into a corner


I have recently has the Bris virus from a limewire DL - not too damaging, but a difficult puppy to kill off ( Norton cant remove it BTW ) - theres a lot of shite on LM, not all of it form legitimate users either- there is more than a whisper of corporate meddling apparently



Sort yersel out with a proxy


I have heard that scouring the neighgbourhood for an unsecured network is the way forward, but is theft technically / practically

It's what my friend Andy did to his neighbour when he (err the neighbour) was being an insufferable, antisocial menace. Cut off his broadband in one fell swoop (well, wireless anyway).


And seriously *Bob*, it would only take one hacker to use your network or one pervert to download some child pornography for the rozzers to be at your door, leave alone the more realistic issue that most broadband packages are capped at a surprisingly low rate, and a few episodes of Eastenders on iPlayer later and your neighbour (or you) is whacked with a ?100 surcharge bill.


I don't want to be all boring and everything but theft is theft.

Turning the router off and on again probably wont give you a new IP. The ISP's set fairly long leases on them so yours may only change once every 3 months or so, though I guess it depends on the provider.


I'd definitely go for WPA2 these days as far as security goes...WEP doesn't cut it anymore and can be hacked in no time. All nice having open networks, but you wont be saying that when the fuzz come knocking!

RIGHT


So I tried that.. put a new password in.

Then it wouldn't let me back in with my new password.

So I turned the router off, and (after disconnecting and connecting a few times) I got the internerd back again, but the router had reset itself to no security again. I'm on Mac (can't you tell?!)


Any more thoughts? Help to-date is most appreciated..


Bet you wish you'd never brought it up now, eh?

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
